Trump: Decision on US Syria Response to Be 'Made Fairly Soon'.

President Donald
Trump says a U.S. response to the recent alleged chemical weapons attack in
Syria will be "made fairly soon." "We’ll see what happens..we're
looking very seriously at that situation," Trump said Thursday at the
White House, ahead of talks with his top advisors on Syria.

Earlier, Trump
insisted he "never said when an attack on Syria would take place,"
tweeting that "it could be very soon or not so soon at all." A day
earlier, he warned "missiles will be coming to Syria."

The White House
has said Trump is considering striking Syria with missiles as one option to
retaliate for the latest alleged chemical attack blamed on Syria’s government
forces. At least 40 people were reportedly killed and hundreds sickened in the
attack Saturday in the town of Douma, in eastern Ghouta, on the outskirts of
Damascus. Syria has denied using chemical weapons.

NBC news
reported that the U.S. has received blood and urine samples from the scene that
have tested positive for chemical weapons. Inspectors from the international
Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said a fact-finding
mission is on their way to Syria and will start work in Douma on Saturday.

French President
Emmanuel Macron said Thursday France has "proof" that chemical
weapons were used by Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's regime. He said France
will respond at the time of its choosing.
